The Duchess wore Alessandra Rich for tonight’s departure from Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau.
There was a ceremony before the royals headed back home.
Another angle.

The royal entourage arrived at the airport around 9:15 EDT.
The couple thanked officials and dignitaries for their hospitality.

They will arrive home on Mother’s Day in the UK.
A wave goodbye.
Now for a look at what Kate wore, beginning with her Belted Floral Silk Jacquard Peplum Dress by Alessandra Rich, a designer she has worn several times.
The button-front design is described this way at Net-a-Porter: “…the silk-jacquard is finely woven with polka-dots and printed with delicate roses in tonal-yellow hues. It has an ’80s-inspired silhouette with a bow-detailed ruffled collar, puffed sleeves, and a pleated peplum at the waist. The crystal-embellished buckle and faux pearl buttons are a nod to the decade’s glamorous excess.”
A closer look.
The piece is available at My Theresa ($2033), at Moda Operandi ($2315), Net-a-Porter ($2350), at Alessandra Rich ($2349), and at Farfetch ($2451).
I think the Duchess accessorized with the Ferragamo bag she carried in Jamaica.
Her pumps look like they could be the Gianvito Rossi 105 in white ($725).
Thank you to Middleton Maven for her ID of the dress and the heels!
The Duchess’s earrings look like the Patrick Mavros Ocean Tide Milky Quartz ($4800), first worn in May 2020.
A couple of shopping notes.
- The Lulu Guinness Hayworth bag (£225) in blue is back in stock on the UK site.
- The Maya earrings (75) by Nadia Irena are available for ordering from what I see on the jeweler’s site. (I have not heard back from her yet, but I was able to add a pair to a shopping cart.)
I’ll see you next Tuesday for Prince Philip’s memorial service. Later in the week, I should be able to work on some tour retrospective posts and polls.
Here is one more photo from the airport.

At first I thought what is the Duchess wearing?Then after looking at the dress more and more I really like the dress.However I would be surprised if she wore it again.Also the top of the dress reminded me of princess Dianas wedding gown.

I’m really surprised with myself, I loved this look, I mean really loved it. A great departure from my personal style, which almost never includes prints. It seems like she is channeling Diana, who wore many dresses that were similar. Anyway IMO this dress looked great on her and somehow with the print + puffed sleeves + collar + belt with rhinestones + over skirt IDK peplum somehow worked. Honestly I think it’s my favorite look, not just of the tour, but in general (I also loved the Tory Burch dress). I hope she keeps it up, it’s just more fun!

Just saw the scuba diving video and the discussion about wearing the “real” ring. Curious as to all of your thoughts.
I’ve thought she probably had a replica ring made years ago that she wears daily and only wears the real one for special occasions.
